Not representations of UFO warfare!

Copyright 2019, InterAmerica, Inc.

I've written often, here and elsewhere, the past few years, that these two pictorials, often presented as replications of UFOs seen by citizens in the 1500s over Basel and Nuremberg, are nothing of the sort:

They are what we call today "Editorial Cartoons".

They are symbolic presentations of what was going on among the religious communities; that is, they were representations of the societal turmoil deriving from Luther's Reformation and the Catholic Church's Counter-Reformation.

That UFO enthusiasts and those who should know better keep inserting these pages into UFO lore is unadulterated ignorance of the context: the new passion of the times with printing, commu- nication, and the feverish tempo of religious rivalries.

U.S. Navy withholding UFO images and information?

Two Google links from my Google UFO feed:

And I received, a few weeks back, a note from "PhoenixRising93" that Navy pilots captured more videos of UFOs they encountered, one showing windows, as if a craft.

Not able to confirm the authenticity of PhoenixRising93, I didn't pursue the matter seriously, but there seems to be something going on, still.

Bryan Sentes clarifies the long-time tale of an airship, with its anchor caught on a church spire and a "crewman swimming down to loosen it"

This is how repeated, accepted-as-fact tales get traction as bona fide UFO reports. (A must-read!):
